Nick and his group were excellent guests. Communication was prompt, friendly, and respectful. He took excellent care of the property, followed house rules, and left the home clean and in great condition. It was a pleasure hosting Nick, and we would gladly welcome him back anytime. We highly recommend him to other hosts and would be happy to host him again in the future.

Absolutely beautiful home that was very comfortable and welcoming for our weekend get together. Our hostess and host were great communicators and everything went smoothly. I hope that we can come back and do this again! We were meeting up with friends to ride the High Trestle Trail, and even the weather cooperated nicely! We had such a nice time!

To say this place was just excellent is an understatement. If you're looking to take a trip to the Des Moines area for work or pleasure, look to Glynnis for your stay. Her house was absolutely perfect. There is nothing that would have made our stay better. She truly has everything you need. If you're on business, there's an amazing office set up for you. Thank you Glynnis!
